Samsung MV800 Reviews

Photographyblog reviews the Samsung MV800 and writes;“the MV800 is even better suited to beginners with its unique screen and plethora of clever modes and creative effects. It can get a little bit overwhelming at first, with no less than 32 modes, effects and options on offer,..”Rating:

Techradar reviews the Samsung MV800 and writes;“The Samsung MV800’s flip-out screen is useful for composing self-portraits and group shots with minimal fuss, along with more awkward positions such as high and low angles. Some of the filters, frames and effects are genuinely quite fun to work with.”Rating:

Steves-digicams reviews the Samsung MV800 and writes;“The MV800’s video quality is right in line with what you should expect from an ultra-compact digicam; good, but not digital camcorder quality. You can choose to record video at a maximum of 720p (1280×720), which is pretty much standard on digicams now; with many offering full HD now as well.”rating: N/A

About reviews the Samsung MV800 and writes;“The touch screen LCD itself is a high-quality unit that has a widescreen design. It’s bright and sharp, and three different brightness settings are available. The MV800 is an extremely thin camera, and it’s all black, other than a tiny amount of silver trim around the lens housing.”Rating:

Whatdigitalcamera reviews the Samsung MV800 and writes;“Image quality is fine at low ISOs, but as is the case with these large resolution, small sensors, it struggles to deliver the goods at higher ISOs.”Rating:

Ephotozine reviews the Samsung MV800 and writes;“We have reviewed a number of Samsung’s latest compact digital cameras and where they all score well is performance, the MV800 is no different. Although the images are soft in the corners, they do have plenty of detail and excellent colour reproduction.”Rating:

Digitalcamerainfo reviews the Samsung MV800 and writes;“The MV800’s image quality is only slightly better than a good smartphone’s. Smartphones can download apps that mimic all of the effects and shooting modes on the MV800. Several phones have front and rear cameras, so they don’t even need a hinged LCD to take a self portrait.”Rating:

With adjustable LCD Screen Samsung has made some improvement in their camera design. Previously you can see yourself only on a tinny LCD on the front, and now you can use the big tilting 3.0-inch AMOLED LCD screen from the back of the camera. The 3.0″ folding touch-sensitive (capacitive) LCD screen has actually more functions than just for taking self-portrait. It will let you take pictures from multiple angles; you can take photos over a crowd, get waist-level candid photos of your kids, and even prop the camera up at angles for easy tabletop photography.
